MILANI Red Sparkle (& CHINA GLAZE Electrify)

Pin It
I recently got a coupon from CVS for $3 off any purchase for my birthday! Of course I had to buy polish bahah!

Milani Red Sparkle

I went with Milani Red Sparkle
Pictures and a pretty sweet mani after the jump!Now my sister sent me a picture of her Milani One Coat Glitter a few months ago. I was all excited because it was PURELY red glitter. Well I searched 3 CVSs and it seems that Milani has replaced the original Red Sparkle (pure red glitter) with this NEW Red Sparkle (red and gold glitter). Disappointed, I got it anyway because my coupon was going to expire.

Want some swatches?

Milani Red Sparkle, 3 coats

Now, "One Coat Glitter" doesn't mean it's going to be opaque in one brush stroke haha, it means that in one coat you will have a ton of glitter. (Just thought I'd clear that up for anyone hopeful - like me) I had no issues getting a good chunk of glitter on to my nail. I was actually liking how this looked! It took 3 coats to get good coverage.

After I put it on I thought to myself "WOAH! This is the opposite of Electrify by China Glaze) And so this results haha:

Pretty freaking sweet, I think! Red Sparkle has the exact glitter ratio and coverage that Electrify has. I only did 2 coats of Electrify, but 3 would of been the best. Electrify and Red Sparkle also seem to have a similar formula. If you are planning to wear either of these glitters alone, with many coats, I suggest you wait a little between the coats to avoid sliding around.

I have a pretty cool idea for next week for you guys! Given all goes well when I execute it today bahaha!
